Constructive Discontent, Dyson and G-Shock Watches

Another year is almost over and it would be remiss of me not to post a final Dyson focused article of the year as yet again he can be an excellent inspiration to all IB DT Diploma students. However to begin with I came across another inspiring designer who like Dyson had for many years produced 100’s of prototypes before he came across a design that given time would become a design classic:-

The James Dyson design award went to another simple but clever design for a foldable cycle helmet – a great idea and makes me wonder if this could not be developed for motorcycle helmets too. After being in Asia and Thailand a few times this year – and seeing the number of motorcyclists without helmets it could be the very thing to develop further – especially at only $5 a helmet. Great to see a young female designer receiving the award!
